Chapter 269: His wife kept nagging him about having a third child, and he was panicked!

Wangjie gave birth to a daughter, and the ward welcomed a wave of visitors.

It was evident that the couple's daily connections and popularity were quite good; practical gifts, big and small, piled up into a small mountain.

Shen Man and her husband also sent four milk powder coupons and two sets of summer clothes for the baby.

Not eye-catching, but definitely practical.

Wang Mingkui was the type of person who, if she found someone pleasing, would be doubly pleasing.

What Shen Man and her husband sent wasn't the most valuable, but it was definitely the most satisfying.

To be honest, she was thirty-five years old this year, an older mother. Breastfeeding was very strenuous; bottle-feeding the daughter was certain.

Relying solely on her husband to get milk powder coupons was risky.

The four milk powder coupons sent by Manman and her husband were like charcoal in the snow; they could just solve the current predicament, and if they saved a bit, the daughter wouldn't have to worry about being hungry for three months.

As for after three months, we'll see.

Anyway, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge; life is just lived slowly like this.

"Have you picked a name for the child?"

"Mm, formal name is Ji Weisi, nickname is Si Si."

"Si Si, that's a nice name, and easy to identify. In the future, the children can go to school together..."

Perhaps because he was a father, Jiang Ye had more of a "dad" feeling. Except for formal occasions, in private, he couldn't go three sentences without mentioning his children.

Political Commissar Ji understood; he was a father of two—oh no, three children now.

To tell you the truth, he was envious of Jiang Ye's good fortune.

Not to mention finding a beautiful and capable wife, the first birth was a pair of twins, directly giving Jiang Ye a "good" character!

His wife kept nagging him about having a third child, and he was panicked!

He was afraid it would be another boy. Even if he was a political commissar, he couldn't handle three boys making trouble!

Fortunately, fortunately, the third child was a girl, just as he wished!

A girl is good, quiet, doesn't cause trouble, and won't turn the house upside down...

Don't know if it was because the weather was hot, making people irritable.

Under a clear sky, a sun shower suddenly started on the Sea Island.

It rained for an hour or so. When Shen Man got off work, besides seeing the road wet and water droplets hanging on the leaves of the surrounding trees, there were no other changes.

This rain didn't have much impact on people who often lived on the Sea Island.

For the little cubs, it was indeed very novel.

However, after playing until tired, they fell asleep, sleeping soundly.

"It'll be Qingming in another week; we have to prepare in advance."

Elder Lu counted the days on the calendar and discussed the matter of memorial services with his grandson and granddaughter.

Still the same sentence: although they were on the Sea Island, their hearts held their ancestors and departed relatives. No matter where they were, as long as they had the heart to burn paper money, it could be transmitted to the departed relatives.

"Okay, last year it was sister and brother-in-law who bought the memorial items; this year, Yan Ting and I will be responsible."

Lu Xiu Bai had become much more reliable since becoming a father.

His temperament had undergone a qualitative change, and his speech had become much more steady.

Elder Lu nodded when he heard his grandson say this, giving him a rare look of affirmation.

Shen Man's mind wandered for a moment, thinking how fast time passed.

This time last year, she hadn't been on the Sea Island for long, originally thinking that life was unfamiliar and she would have to suffer a bit.

She didn't expect to meet and fall in love with Brother Jiang Ye (a term used based on reader feedback) at first sight, and soon after, they exchanged feelings and got married...

This time this year, the children were almost three months old!

Thinking carefully, fate is truly wonderful.

Before, she was urged to marry by her parents, all alone.

In this life, her family ties were shallow, but she was lucky to have a grandfather and brother who loved her...

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just wandered off for a moment. Who are we at?"

"Ah, talking about Qingming, how much incense and candles to buy..."

Lu Xiu Bai didn't suspect anything and enthusiastically listed them for his sister.

Not long after, Elder Pei urged his granddaughter to come and listen. He didn't need to do Qingming; his descendants would handle it in the capital.

The descendants of the Pei family never forget their roots!

If they forgot their roots, then the Pei family would be finished.

The eldest granddaughter married into the Lu family, so she was a Lu family woman; participating in the Lu family's Qingming memorial service was appropriate.

Pei Yan Ting didn't dislike this kind of thing because, although she was a girl, her family would secretly do Qingming no matter how difficult it was when she was growing up.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't reject memorializing ancestors; on the contrary, she would support and cooperate.

If a person forgets their roots and doesn't even want their ancestors, then this person is useless.

Like her medical family, if it weren't for the ancestors' protection generation after generation, passing down medical techniques, where would they have a bite to eat until now?

So, people cannot forget their roots.

Besides them discussing this, other military wives in the Jiashuyuan were also discussing it.

Qingming, Winter Solstice, must do one!

Not doing one is being unfilial to ancestors!

The original residents of the Sea Island actually attached great importance to the Qingming memorial day.

It was just that for some reasons, they couldn't hold it grandly, and everything was simplified.

Even so, recently in some streets and alleys, some people would secretly buy incense, candles, and other memorial items.

The law doesn't punish the masses; the overall atmosphere on the Sea Island was relatively peaceful, so no one held onto it...

State-run Restaurant—

Since Lao Mo took in two disciples, he felt much more relaxed.

During this period, Zhou Yan came once, put down a bag of dried mushrooms, and left.

And from that day on, Lao Mo hadn't seen Zhou Yan.

Don't know what that kid was busy with. Could it really be that he had a wife and forgot his brothers?

Possible, just like that kid Jiang Ye; he hadn't seen him come for a long time either.

"Forget friends for sex"—just as he thought this, he saw Zhou Yan.

"Old Zhou, rare guest."

"Old Mo, I'm planning to take Xianxian to rely on her eldest uncle in Zhuhai. In the future, I'm afraid..."

"Zhuhai? Running so far, have you thought it through?"

"Mm, thought it through. Xianxian's maiden family had some trouble, and I'm afraid she can't

"As long as you've made up your mind, there's nothing else for me, your brother, to say."

"Yeah, that's it. I don't have the face to see Jiang Ye and say goodbye to the couple. I'd like to ask you to help me give this letter to him the next time you see him."

"Sure, it's a small favor. Regardless of whether you're doing well or not in the future, remember to write to me. If you strike it rich, never mind, but if you're in trouble, you must tell your brother. Don't treat your brother like an outsider."

"Lao Mo, thank you."

"Don't give me that sentimental stuff. Anyway, I don't plan on getting married. I'll be a bachelor for life, I won't suffer the bitterness of love. In the future, I'll rely on my two apprentices, Dahai and Xiao Hai, to support me in my old age."

"Not necessarily. Love is the kind of thing that, when it comes, it's not something you can just dodge if you want to."

"Hmph, enough said. I'll deliver the letter."

"Alright, thank you..."

This was the last time Lao Mo saw Zhou Yan.

In this era where transportation and communication were underdeveloped, some news, some people—as they walked their separate ways, they just drifted apart...
